Spitzer-selected z > 1.3 protocluster candidates in the LSST Deep Drilling Fields

We have identified 189 candidate z > 1.3 protoclusters and clusters in the LSST Deep Drilling Fields. This sample will enable the measurement of the metal enrichment and star formation history of clusters during their early assembly period through the dire ...

An Atlas of Color-selected Quiescent Galaxies at z > 3 in Public JWST Fields

Michaela Hirschmann, Minju Lee

We present the results of a systematic search for candidate quiescent galaxies in the distant universe in 11 JWST fields with publicly available observations collected during the first 3 months of operations and covering an effective sky area of similar to ...

COSMOS-Web: An Overview of the JWST Cosmic Origins Survey

Michaela Hirschmann, Richard Massey

We present the survey design, implementation, and outlook for COSMOS-Web, a 255 hr treasury program conducted by the James Webb Space Telescope in its first cycle of observations. COSMOS-Web is a contiguous 0.54 deg² NIRCam imaging survey in four filters ( ...

Environmental processing in cluster core galaxies at z=1.7

Gianluca Castignani

Today, the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are passive and very massive galaxies at the center of their clusters, and they still accrete mass through swallowing companions and gas from cooling flows. However their formation history is not well known. We ...

A gravitationally boosted MUSE survey for emission-line galaxies at z greater than or similar to 5 behind the massive cluster RCS 0224

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Richard Massey, Johan Richard

We present a Very Large Telescope/Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) survey of lensed high-redshift galaxies behind the z = 0.77 cluster RCS 0224-0002. We study the detailed internal properties of a highly magnified (mu similar to 29) z = 4.88 galaxy ...

THE LYMAN ALPHA REFERENCE SAMPLE V. THE IMPACT OF NEUTRAL ISM KINEMATICS AND GEOMETRY ON Ly alpha ESCAPE

Hakim Atek

We present high-resolution far-UV spectroscopy of the 14 galaxies of the Ly alpha Reference Sample; a sample of strongly star-forming galaxies at low redshifts (0.028 < z < 0.18). We compare the derived properties to global properties derived from multi-ba ...

The post-infall evolution of a satellite galaxy

Pascale Jablonka, Yves Revaz, Matthew Luke Nichols

We describe a new method that only focuses on the local region surrounding an infalling dwarf in an effort to understand how the hot baryonic halo alters the chemodynamical evolution of dwarf galaxies. Using this method, we examine how a dwarf, similar to ...

Influence of physical galaxy properties on Ly alpha escape in star-forming galaxies

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek

Context. Among the different observational techniques used to select high-redshift galaxies, the hydrogen recombination line Lyman-alpha (Ly alpha) is of particular interest because it gives access to the measurement of cosmological quantities such as the ...

The Lyman Alpha Reference Sample. Ii. Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Results, Integrated Properties, And Trends

Hakim Atek

We report new results regarding the Ly alpha output of galaxies, derived from the Lyman Alpha Reference Sample, and focused on Hubble Space Telescope imaging. For 14 galaxies we present intensity images in Ly alpha, H alpha, and UV, and maps of H alpha/H b ...

Spectroscopy of extended Ly alpha envelopes around z=4.5 quasars

Frédéric Courbin, Pierre North, Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

What are the frequency, shape, kinematics, and luminosity of Ly alpha envelopes surrounding radio-quiet quasars at high redshift, and is the luminosity of these envelopes related to that of the quasar or not? As a first step towards answering these questio ...

Cl 1103.7-1245 at z=0.96: the highest redshift galaxy cluster in the EDisCS survey

Pascale Jablonka, Anja Von der Linden

We present new spectroscopic observations in a field containing the highest redshift cluster of the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS). We measure galaxy redshifts and determine the velocity dispersions of the galaxy structures located in this field. Toge ...

Deep optical spectroscopy of extended Ly alpha emission around three radio-quiet z=4.5 quasars

Frédéric Courbin, Pierre North, Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

We report the first results of a spectroscopic search for Ly alpha envelopes around three z similar to 4.5 radio-quiet quasars. Our observational strategy adopts the FORS2 spectrograph mounted to the UT1 of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in the multi-slit ...

Flares from a candidate Galactic magnetar suggest a missing link to dim isolated neutron stars

Andrea Kraus

Magnetars(1) are young neutron stars with very strong magnetic fields of the order of 10(14)-10(15) G. They are detected in our Galaxy either as soft gamma-ray repeaters or anomalous X-ray pulsars. Soft gamma-ray repeaters are a rare type of gamma-ray tran ...

ZEN2: a narrow J-band search for z similar to 9 Ly alpha emitting galaxies directed towards three lensing clusters

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Frédéric Courbin

We present the results of a continuing survey to detect Ly alpha emitting galaxies at redshifts z similar to 9: the z equals nine' (ZEN) survey. We have obtained deep VLT Infrared Spectrometer and Array Camera observations in the narrow J-band filter NB119 ...
